Can you build playlists on it? Or do you have to do that on a computer? I'm thinking of getting one for my parents.

You do it through itunes, on your computer. They're brilliant though, I LOVE my touch

MrsGoodnight said:

So, once the songs are on the Touch, you can't create playlists there? You have to do it on a computer?

Ace said:

Nope, there's not a lot you CAN do with your music once it's on the pod, except shuffle or repeat it. It has to be done through your computer. Mine is a first generation one though, so I don't know if it has changed with the later editions

Thanks, MG!

Ace said:

No probs, hon

You still gonna get one?

i would hold off until after october, i read they are expected to come out with new ones in august sept or oct. so wait a moment and see. maybe the new ones will let you create playlists on them. they are expecting the new one to do even more much like an iphone.
One feature they are expecting is to be able to make phone calls through the internet on an itouch too.

MrsGoodnight said:

Actually that's not true. You can build your own playlists on the touch using the "On the go" option, which allows you to build playlists on the ipod itself.

Ah, there to go then! As I said, mine's a first generation and doesn't have that feature (OR it does have it but I haven't stumbled across it yet as I'm a complete tech-pleb!)

I dunno but I bought a 120G Ipod a few weeks back and IT'S THE BEST THING EVER INVENTED IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.

Good Luck with your selection.

MrsGoodnight said:

Same here.

I'm always, like, 'It does THAT...?' after someone else has picked up something I've bought. It plays music - and has Sonic The Hedgehog on it - that's all I need.

seems we're very alike - just think how dangerous we'd be together!

MrsGoodnight said:

We wouldn't remember each other's name and wouldn't know how to switch on our Ipods but could talk nonsense all day, I'm sure - that's all you need.

MrsGoodnight said:

Go to "Playlists" then "On-The-Go" then you can select songs.

On a non-Touch iPod, you select the songs/albums/artists you want to add to the playlist by holding down the select button.

Nah. I ain't got no stinkin' 'on-the-go' button...

MrsGoodnight said:

It's not a button. It's the playlist at the top of the list.

AlexdeParis said:

is it?! :goes off to check:

How much of a twat am I?! I've had this thing for a good 18 months and I never knew that was there!!

I told you I was a tech-pleb
